Seido awaits their first game of the summer tournament. Sawamura wants to get used to wearing the ace number and so begins to sleep in his uniform, earning him a teasing from his roommates. Coach Kataoka receives an stimulating call from his former mentor Coach Sasaki, the coach of Yura Sogo Engineering High School who they are about to face. Yura Sogo competes in the first round anticipating their game against the seeded Seido. What does the cunning Coach Sasaki have up his sleeve?
It goes without saying, but giving you the ace
number means I expect a lot from you.
لا أحتاج لأذكّرك، لكن منحك رقم اللاّعب 
.الأوّل يعني أنّي أتوقّع الكثير منك
Natürlich erwartet man viel von dem,
dem man die Assnummer anvertraut.
Obviamente, al darte el número
de la estrella espero mucho de ti.

« Il va sans dire
qu’en te confiant le nº 1,
È ovvio che, visto che ti ho investito
del ruolo di asso, mi aspetto molto da te.
E, claro, se está recebendo o número do às,
terá muitas expectativas em seus ombros.
Номер аса достался тебе, 
а значит я многого ожидаю.
